The Case For Flipping Your Monitor From Landscape to Portrait

Posted by timothy on from the makes-it-hard-to-type dept.

Molly McHugh writes The vast majority of computer-related tasks see no benefit from a screen that is longer than it is tall. Sure, video playback and gaming are some key exceptions, but if you watch Netflix on your TV instead of your computer monitor and you're not into PC gaming, that long, wide display is doing nothing but hampering your experience. Let's flip it. No, seriously. Let's flip it sideways.

    I use my monitor rotated in portrait mode and rotated 270 degrees.

    Okay, I've managed to get the monitor off my laptop (it must have been stuck; I had to pry it off). Can someone tell me how to re-attach it as portrait?

    I've rotated my screen 360 degrees :-)

    Does it improve the picture now that you have twisted cables?

    Make sure you rotate by -360 degress in the Southern Hemisphere or the electrons will get tangled.
